For those that don't know what a recursive loop, it is a never ending loop. So the duration of vulture stance and One wolf pack it would work like this. Hunter call's Activates Vulture stance and one wolf pack One wolf pack proc vulture stance anything that proc vulture stance will proc predator onslaught Predator onslaught will activate vulture stance and one wolf pack One wolf pack Proc vulture stance which proc predator onslaught which goes back to procing one wolf pack and vulture stance. Yeah I was on a long break and didn’t play when soulbeast and untamed came out. Wasn’t there to try it out 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always message me is ether why or I am scared. Ofcourse people who new how to midigate the condi damage still took considerable amount of damage.

That seems to be it again the only class that seems to be able to counter this is Revenant since it has multiple sources of cleansing especially if the run the Ventari Legend.

We reduced the damage coefficient of Maul, increased the cooldown of Sic'Em, removed the condition removal from Bear Stance, made Ranger traps visible to the enemy, Point blank shot no longer knocks back opponents and now cripples instead, Hunter's shot no longer grants stealth and grants 1 stack of might instead, Rapid shot has been reduced to 5 hits, but to compensate we increased the damage coefficient per hit by 0.001, soulbeast merging and pet swapping cooldown increased by 5 seconds, Rangers now take double damage while merging, Smokescale can now be equipped in PvE only. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwituatara even states the footage is cherry picked, something I always question when people call a build in a montage "OP". It certainly reflects my own experiences using similar builds, sometimes it just doesn't work and you get flattened. Since the builds are often so focused into what they do, if you miss your shot or the enemy doesn't die to it, you're left with nothing. When you line up clips of it actually working, which may be only 10% of a play session, of course it's going to look broken. On top of that, Anet has something of a track record of nerfing part of a particular build or spec seemingly without actually taking into consideration all the other use cases for that skill. I've never seen a 'Wombo Combo' of any class being repeatable and also worth it. Its always a gimmick. I think this is what happened to trapper runes stealth removal. But I don't know for a fact since I'm not on the dev team and I wasn't playing then. I remember a ranger managing to pull off the perfect stealth rotation and basically stealth bomb someone into oblivion lol. The truth of it was, it was ridiculously hard to pull off and in addition to that, the build was pure glass garbage. There is always some huge tradeoff that makes it not viable. But, never fails, the one person that gets hit by it, will scream from the mountain tops how OP said class is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That perhaps might be me? 😅 Been stealth bombing groups/zergs/blobs since EOD release, yesterday a whole guild was chasing me everytime they saw me because I kept bombing them and forcing downies which led to my server pugs to push on them and wipe them. If the bomb is successful (in terms of full rotation and able to hit enough targets) then can perform another bomb in less than 15sec that way continuing a chain of bombs every 10~20sec.

It’s another gimmicky stupid build but I have fun with it. From where suddenly come all these ranger one shot builds? The turtle I understand, but why does this one do so much condition damage? From where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristleback merged f2 sharpening stone poison master preloading dagger2 for 3 stacks fractal relic I don’t specialise in good builds usually. I like making weird gimmicky builds but they usually just end up as trashy one-shot builds… Edited December 15, 2023 by kiwituatara.6053 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh then no, I don't get anywhere near Spvp, that is a blasted place where I don't dare set my foot in, full with win traders and one of the most toxic community out there, I prefer the toxicity of WvW any day over that. that place became a joke, its abandoned by anet and the situation there will just get worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its concentrated pvp compared to wvw. there is no roaming around waiting for isht to happen. Its right off the bat. Win trading and toxic communities.... I haven't experienced that. Most people don't say anything in a match. Maybe you will get the kitten "GG" or "GF" lol...but other than that. I mean occasionally someone rants a bit. "Yall are trash!" stuff like that. It's not bad. But it is a completely different type of pvp than wvw. I enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
